Bryson DeChambeau Missing 2nd Straight Major Cut at PGA Championship Stuns Fans: "YouTube Fame Destroyed His Game"

Bryson DeChambeau Missing 2nd Straight Major Cut at PGA Championship Stuns Fans: "YouTube Fame Destroyed His Game"

First Sportz 2 weeks ago

Bryson DeChambeau is heading home early again. On Friday, the LIV Golf star missed the cut at the PGA Championship after finishing 7-over par after his two rounds.

This marked a 2nd straight major where he missed the cut.

The 2-time major champion did not have the best of starts on Thursday. While playing the back nine first, he made 4 bogeys and was 4-over after just 9 holes.

A bogey on the 7th hole, followed by a double bogey on the 8th, left him 7-over par. He eventually made a birdie on the final hole of the day to finish the round 6-over par.

On Friday, he needed a huge performance. After 4 straight pars, he bogeyed the 5th hole. This was followed by a double bogey on the 7th hole and a bogey on the 8th, leaving him in trouble. He birdied the 9th hole to end the front nine with a 3-over score.

The chances of a massive comeback were extinguished on the 11th hole as he made another bogey. He did finish the round strongly, though, with 3 straight birdies from Holes 16 to 18. Despite this, he missed the cutline of 4-over by 3 strokes as he finished 7-over par.

Before the 2026 major season, DeChambeau was beaming with confidence. After finishing T17, T3, and T24 in the first three LIV Golf events, the American international claimed back-to-back wins as he took down Richard T. Lee and then Jon Rahm in two playoff rounds at the LIV Golf Singapore and LIV Golf South Africa events, respectively.

He, however, has struggled in the major championships. At the Masters Tournament, he shot a score of 76 in the first round. In the second round on Friday, he exploded on the final hole as he carded a triple bogey. This saw him finish 6-over par, 2 strokes more than the cutline of 4-over.

With the missed cut at the Aronimink Golf Club, the 32-year-old matched an unwanted career record. This marks the first time since 2017 that he has missed the cut in two straight major championships.

In 2017, he first missed the cut at the U.S. Open at Erin Hills before being forced to take an early exit at the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

Bryson DeChambeau will not be playing during the weekend at the Aronimink Golf Club as he missed the cut at the PGA Championship. The LIV golfer finished 7-over par after 2 rounds and missed the cutline of 4-over by 3 strokes.

Fans on social media were left divided. While a few of them felt bad for him, many took a swipe. One user wrote, 'YouTube fame destroyed his game,' while reacting to him missing the cut.

Check out that and some other reactions below:

DeChambeau's YouTube popularity has become a topic of conversation in golf. The Crushers GC captain has over 2.69 million subscribers on the video-sharing platform. Amid uncertainty about the future of LIV Golf, he said he would focus on growing his channel.

Bryson DeChambeau missed his 2nd straight cut in a major event after firing scores of 76 and 71 in the two rounds. He was among one of the high-profile names that failed to secure their weekend status at the Aronimink Golf Club.

A top name that missed the cut was J.J. Spaun. The reigning U.S. Open champion had fired an opening round score of 70. However, a score of 76 on Friday saw him fall in the ranking and finish the tournament with a 6-over par.

Former PGA Tour winners Max Homa, Akshay Bhatia, Robert MacIntyre, Viktor Hovland, Sungjae Im, and Tommy Fleetwood all missed the cut. Ex-major champions who missed the cut were Keegan Bradley, Wyndham Clark, Gary Woodland, and Adam Scott.

Cameron Smith was one name that did make the cut. The Australian international ended a barren run of 6 consecutive major cut misses with scores of 69 and 71. He is T22 after the first two rounds and will be hoping for a top finish in his first major cut since the 2024 U.S. Open.
